2009-11-24T11:48:11-06:00

From dbones33: This apartment sucks!!! It is like a disheveled frat house. Parties and noise every night (5 nights a week) until 3am, beer cans and bottles on the front steps every morning, spilled beer in the hallways, people leave their trash bags in the hallway and back stairs. The electricity is ... [click to read full apartment review]

2009-06-21T14:46:53-06:00

From j_catt08@hotmail.com: Like a maintenance company that care if you have a gas leak. No, really, I called Fineberg because I smelled gas in the apartment. I had class in an hour and they told me, "We've put your name down." When I responded that I needed to leave for class, she ... [click to read full apartment review]

1163-1191 Boylston Street: Worst apartment ever- whatever you do, do not rent here (Not Recommending)

2009-05-05T13:26:19-06:00

2008-11-07T10:04:41-06:00

From worldwidestudios: I've lived here for two months now, and while there are a myriad of less-than-pleasant aspects, I am a firm believer that a home is only what you make it.

From jrenter1212: I have been living at these apartments for just over a year and am moving this month. We are without hot water atleast 2x per month.

From -Anonymous-: I live in this row of buildings managed by Fineberg also. There are some pluses, including the lack of bug and mice problems in my building.

2006-06-17T11:19:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Management comapny tends to treat all tenants as children. When you're a customer paying over a grand for one room, it can get pretty irritating.

Management left human feces in front loby for 48 hours; even after repeated phone calls where management was RUDE to tenants. ... [click to read full apartment review]

2005-09-07T10:30:18-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Maintenance: You'll need maintenance if you live there for any length of time.

From -Anonymous-: I've lived in this building probably longer than anyone else. After reading some of these less than complimentary reviews, I'm left with the feeling that they were written by pampered college students who don't have Mommy to take care of them any more.
